Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of offshore oil engineering, and more particularly to a wind power integrated wellhead platform and a construction method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Currently, domestic oil and gas energy development companies are gradually transitioning to low-carbon energy sources. For example, in the development of offshore oil and gas resources, they are introducing shore power technology to supply the electricity needs of offshore oil and gas production platforms, replacing traditional fuel / gas generators and reducing carbon dioxide and other pollutant emissions. This has played a positive role in the transition to low-carbon emissions. However, this model is only suitable for near-shore waters. For more distant waters, the increased distance leads to increased technical difficulty and excessive investment, which directly affects economic viability.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the prior art for a technical solution to solve the problem that shore power technology cannot be applied to the low-carbon and green development of offshore oil and gas fields in waters far from the shore. Summary of the Invention

[0008] There are four oil wellhead subdivision panels and four connecting subdivision panels. The four oil wellhead subdivision panels are connected end to end in sequence to form an enclosed space for the oil wellhead subdivision. The four connecting subdivision panels are divided into two groups, each group having two connecting subdivision panels. The two groups of connecting subdivision panels are respectively arranged on both sides of the oil wellhead subdivision, dividing the part of the outer ring cabin except the oil wellhead subdivision into four local subdivisions.

[0009] The height of the main compartment plate is the same as the height of the outer wall of the steel barrel foundation.

[0010] The height of the oil wellhead compartment plate is the same as the height of the outer cylinder wall of the steel cylinder foundation.
